    To nerd or not to nerd, this movie is still funny!

    Even if you know nothing about tabletop games (Dungeons & Dragons, Illuminati, etc) or LARPing, you'll still love this movie. For us nerds, this movie is a multi-layered laugh out loud "thank you" card. For the casual movie-goer, it's a quirky trip through the looking glass of nerddom.

    The story is what truly drives this film. This movie has heart at its core, and the actors embrace the heart of the material. Everyone involved appears to have been perfectly cast. The beautiful love-interest, the jerky brother, the evil antagonist, and even the bit players with just a few lines (or none at all).

    Catch this movie when you can! This is the humor of Napooleon Dynamite the triumph of Little Miss Sunshine, and the heart of The Help. You have to try very hard NOT to enjoy this movie.

    Magic and wonder

    This is a special film. Not everybody will get it but those who do get it will find that it warms their hearts and tickles their funny bone.

    Anybody who ever rolled a d20 or has gone to a LARP (Live Action Role Play} will instantly become infatuated with the characters. A film for anybody who has painted miniatures; a film for anybody who loves orcs and pancakes.

    The leading lady steals the show with a energy charged performance and the rich ensemble cast will keep you in stitches.

    This is a talented group of filmmakers and I look forward to their future ventures.

    Worth watching...twice.

    Great fun

    A terrific romp into the world of LARPing and tabletop roleplaying. Not only does this give us a tongue-in-cheek view into the art of roleplaying itself, but into the minds and lives of gamers, with a great sense of humour about it.

    The characters play off of each other with ease, as if they've been playing their characters for quite some time, and the comedic timing is wonderful.

    Matt Mattson is gifted with physical comedy, and I really hope to see him in future films. Jaclyn Hales plays a very believable shy and awkward character, who draws the audience in, and Devin McGinn plays the lead role with such confidence, you truly feel like you're experiencing the story through him.

    A great film for all ages, see it if you're able.

    Finally understand what is up with those RPG nerds

    The movie was very clever and had plenty of surprises along with a cast that was funny and lovable. There was a lot of character development along with an interesting plot that left the viewer entertained and wanting more. There were times in the theater where I could not stop laughing. Somewhat comparable to Napolean Dynamite or Nacho Libre except the main character was just a little too main stream. I would have preferred that he and some of the other characters be a little more nerdy or realistically into that Dungeons and Dragons kind of stuff. But obviously that may have been hard since a real hard core RPG dude would have been offended at the movie and maybe that's what makes this movie so funny.

    The Cenotaur makes the film

    This is a very funny film. Don't be fooled by the title or that it was made in Utah. There's only one scene with Unicorns and Utah is only vaguely referenced. It's about Dungeons and Dragons trying to be made real only much funnier. You don't need to know anything about that either to find the humor. You just have to know nerds play this game. The centaur steals the show though. The film has heart too but every time a joke is needed there is one to be had,especially from the Centaur who's name is Rhubarb. Also I was told Uncle Rico was in it, but he unrecognizable. Believe it or not he plays the villain. A worthy effort from local film makers. Help make more movies like this get made by seeing it!

    • Trivia
      During the "chased through the waves of grain" scene, actor Brandyn Cross, a LARPer, hit a pothole and lost his prosthetic leg. Fellow LARPer James C. Morris, in the same scene, tripped over the leg, and skinned his knee. As he was wearing a kilt at the time, this resulted in a bloody mess, and he was fussed over for several minutes before he demanded air and sunlight so he could recover in peace.
